Building a Roblox Sailing System – Free Boat Controls & UI

🚀 Devlog: Behind the Roblox Sailing System

We’re excited to share the development of our Roblox Sailing Boat System, a lightweight and intuitive way for developers to add boats into their games. Inspired by the smooth sailing mechanics of Sea of Thieves, this system focuses on ease of use, cross-platform support, and lag-free performance.

🔹 Why We Built It

Many Roblox developers want sailing in their projects, but existing solutions are either too complex or require heavy scripts. Our goal was to create a free, optimized sailing system that works across PC, mobile, and console, while still being fun and immersive.

⚙️ Development Notes

• We used Roblox Studio force mechanics for buoyancy, steering, and movement.

• Proximity Prompts were integrated to make sail controls simple for all platforms.

• Boats are fully modular, meaning you can add as many as you want and configure them individually.

• To help beginners, we wrote a step-by-step guidebook for easy setup and customization.

🌍 Use Cases

This sailing system is a perfect fit for:

• Pirate or naval roleplay adventures

• Open-world survival projects

• Racing and exploration maps

• Sandbox and simulator games

🏗️ What’s Next

We’re exploring new updates, such as optional wind mechanics and customizable UI themes. Community feedback will help shape the next versions.
